> you’ve won the lottery by living in one of the few places in the US that has a functioning public school system

Are you seriously claiming that's there exists significant portions of the USA where children don't have access to school? That's absurd.

I'm Canadian, my kids go to public school. In fact, we're walking there right now; a privilege I wouldn't have if I had to be in a car, commuting to an office at this moment.



Public school is available pretty much everywhere in the US, but it is not necessarily very high quality depending on demographics primarily, which is deeply unfortunate. Most "normal" families cannot afford to go anywhere else.

“functioning” appears to be a gateway for infinite malleability in meaning.
